When we reflect on fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution, we can see the way convergence is one of the most fundamental dynamics. In fact, the deepest meaning of the universe can be pointed at with a three word sentence: Convergence ignites novelty.

By considering an example from the early universe, we can see how the power of convergence relates to our human situation today, especially with regards to the emergence of the noosphere.

As a word, "noosphere" is a loose synonym for three different meanings: the history and destiny of Homo sapiens; an emerging planetary nervous system, an emerging superorganism.

Throughout this series, we explore the conditions that gave rise to the noosphere:

1. Heredity
The transfer of genetic and cultural information from parents to offspring, generation to generation.

2. Tools
Instruments and technological devices that aids in accomplishing tasks.

3. Self-Consciousness
Conscious of one's own acts or states as belonging to or originating in oneself : aware of oneself as an individual.

4. Communication
A process by which information is exchanged between individuals through
a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior.

5. Population
A body of persons or individuals having a quality or characteristic in common, the total of particles at a particular energy level.

6. Trade
To exchange (something) for something else, typically as a commercial transaction.

7. Cerebralization
The developing capacity of a species to form an idea, mental image or understanding something.

8. Convergence
To come together and unite in a common interest or focus.

Across five different stages of humanity:
• Paleolithic (300,000 - 11,000 years ago)
• Neolithic (11,000 years ago - 3,000 BCE)
• Classical (3,000 BCE - 1400 CE)
• Modern (1,400 CE - present)
• Future

This series of short films explores the ways humanity is building the nervous system of a superorganism, called the noosphere. Our series is narrated and hosted by Brian Thomas Swimme (https://storyoftheuniverse.org/) and produced by Human Energy (http://humanenergy.io/).

Human Energy was founded to share a new scientific and cosmic story introducing the Noosphere as a source of meaning for future generations in our globalizing world.

In today’s video, we examine cerebralization, the process by which Earth is becoming ever more mind-like, during the modern era of humanity through the construction and launch of the James Webb Space Telescope.

Our day to day lives are immersed within this powerful process of cerebralization, as well as other dynamics that have led to the emergence of the noosphere. We can come to understand and evaluate our lives in terms of these dynamics and see how we are participating in one or several of this movements.

When we do, everything changes. A new context becomes available to reflect on the meaning and purpose of one's life. We are supported in any effort to direct our actions to well being of humanity and the Earth community as a whole.

This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere.

The planetary mind is on the verge of creating new human forms. Hereditary traditions that have, over many millennia, given birth to hundreds of diverse human forms, are now entering the process of creative dialogue with one another.

It is in the synergies generated by deepening relations among all human communities that new and vibrant contexts are put into place. Over time the creative relationships in these new contexts will bring forth a million new human forms.

You may already be one of them.
